Hainan Province 海南省 is a province encompassing the island of Hainan in southern China. As the island covers 33,920 sq km (13,100 sq mi), it is the smallest province of the country. By the definition of the government of the People's Republic, Hainan Province includes the Spratly Island, Paracel Islands and other disputed marine territories. Also by the same definition, Hainan is the second biggest island of China, if Taiwan is also counted as a province. Otherwise, it is the largest island within the People's Republic of China.
Hainan is separated from Leizhou Peninsula of Guangdong Province by the narrow Qiongzhou Strait. The southernmost part of Hainan Island is also the southernmost part of China. The island has a population of 8.6 million people (2011 estimate). The capital and largest city is Haikou. Hainan has a GDP of CNY 164.7 billion in 2009, and a per capita GDP of CNY 19,166.
Hainan experiences a tropical moist monsoonal climate. The hottest months here are July and August while the coldest are January and February. The highest mountain on the island is Wuzhishan, at 1,876 meters. The rivers of the island flow radially to the coast in different directions.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
